First Event....
First Event....
Today Daxton turned 15, so we took him to go get his Learners permit. The DMV was crazy busy, so it took us about an hour and a half. Daxton was sooo excited! He had been doing some studying, and when all was said and done, he passed with 86%.
he is legal to drive with an adult in the car.
Did I mention how scared this adult is :/

Second Event....
Second Event....
My niece Jessica and her husband Raghu bought airline tickets for Jada and Sam to fly to Arizona to visit them. What awesome cousins these two girls have! Thanks Jessica and Raghu. Jada has never been so excited for anything. I was nervous sending a 12 and 13 year old on a plane by themselves.
The count down chains all torn apart...
and they are off!!
I am so glad that I could walk them to the departure gate, and I could not bring myself to leave until I saw them actually take off.
I really am excited for her, but I really do miss her! I finally left and walked through the airport crying. I started thinking if it is this hard for me to part with one of my kids for 2 weeks, how am I ever going to be able to send them away for 2 years for a mission? I know I am a freak, Heaven help me!! My nerves are pretty much shot now...
Third and Final Event....
yes we are officially white trash :(
I just about died when I saw Dawson come running up to the car. My stomach really turned a few times. I went right to Dave (who by the way is in big trouble):
Me: "Very Funny Dave.... Why did you do that?
Dave: "You never said No...."
Me: "You know darn well I said NO"
Dave: "Well, it wasn't a very strong No...(laughing)"
Dave: "Melissa you have to pick and choose your battles...(laughing)"
Well this event sent me over the edge, my nerves are completely shot! No mother should have to endure this much in such a short period of time. Especially coming home to a 5 year old with a red mohawk :(. Dave is going to pay for this little stunt!!

Yikes- what a crazy week! Sounds like it's time for a girl's night out! :)
Oh my goodness! I can see how your nerves could be shot!
I am totally laughing at dawsons hair! Bryce loves it! Sounds like an eventful week. Maybe you should get on a plane and come and visit me so you can forget about it!
This blog post took me all over the map of emotions. First shuddering and fear knowing that Daxton is not the only up and coming teenage driver in the neighborhood. It's going to be crazy for the next few years. Then the whole Jada to Arizona thing. Ben is off at scout camp and I miss him terribly. So I can only imagine. Then I just laughed at the mohawk. Only a dad could be okay with that. I probably would have cried. At least he's cute. Good luck to you. Really - crazy times.
Now I'm stressed!!! I am so sorry!! :) I would have cried--at all three!
I think u should shave & color dave's hair while he is asleep!
